e ) Maintain power tools and accesories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Hammer Drill Safety Warnings
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
•
Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
•
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
•
support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
•
Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may
cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use
gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods,
and limit daily time of use.
•
Hammer bits and tools get hot during operation.
Wear gloves when touching them.
WARNING: Shock hazard. When drilling or driving
into walls, floors or wherever live electrical wires
may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL
PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic
handle(s) / housing to prevent shock.
•
Do not lock the tool ON when drilling by hand.
•
Hold drill firmly with both hands to control the
twisting action of the drill. If your drill is equipped with
a side handle, always use the side handle.
WARNING: Drill may stall (if overloaded or improperly
used) causing a twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the
drill firmly to control the twisting action and prevent
loss of control which could cause personal injury. If a
stall does occur, release the trigger immediately and
determine the reason for the stall before re-starting.
•
Always unplug the drill when attaching or removing
accessories. When attaching accessories in the drill
chuck, it is important to securely tighten the chuck using
all three holes to prevent slippage. When using a keyless
chuck, hand tighten firmly.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
lead from lead-based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
